Does anybody crave a precise set of stripes when making yoyo strings. I have the answer. I dont do it, because it takes effort, and blends are just easier, but sometimes when I get strings I feel like the maker was going for stripes, and it just blended. If I do a video this weekend on perfect stripes would somebody please watch it? I feel I can illuminate on the process. ---

![stripes](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/5/6950005dca9095a1077dd8d1c7cf710aa50f9ca4.jpeg) Its a little blurry, but see how there are blue and green stripes that twirl down the string. The green and blue don’t overlap each other. Its like the are a cord that cascades down. If the just overlap then they blend together. I see blends when I think people want stripes. ---
